In other words, they have worked. This is a good quality for any technology.

Priestley believed that the largest present impediment to progress in ideas was the cloistering of knowledge within small domains, whether languages, nations, or disciplines.

Without some sort of fix, Diderot and d’Alembert argued, books would simply pile up until, in their words, “It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes.”

What Ted expressed in this passage from Literary Machines resonates strongly with what the Enlightenment philosophers understood the world of paper texts to look like, and, it resonates still more strongly with what they argued it should look like.

After Hannity was praised by non-rightwing media for his seemingly pro-vaccine stance, he angrily told viewers on Thursday: “I never told anyone to get a vaccine.”

First Sean Hannity, on Monday, told his viewers to “please take Covid seriously – I can’t say it enough.”Hannity added: “I believe in the science of vaccination.”

What the network might not have expected was for the message to be almost immediately undermined by the network’s biggest star, Tucker Carlson.

The rightwing channel has urged viewers to get the vaccine but some opinion hosts see stoking scepticism as a ratings winner

While vaccine skepticism might win those ratings and revenue, it is surely a law of diminishing returns. The median age of a Fox News viewer was 65 years old in 2017, suggesting many of those viewers are in the highest risk category.Cameron said: “This is literally the metaphor of the lemmings running to their own slaughter. People who are listening to that sort of stuff instead of the science that goes way, way back.

At least 99% of people in the US who died from coronavirus in the last six months were not vaccinated, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said.

To Galbraith, who had just published “The Affluent Society,” the wastefulness he observed seemed foolhardy, but he was pessimistic about curtailment; he identified the beginnings of “a massive conservative reaction to the idea of enlarged social guidance and control of economic activity,” a backlash against the state taking responsibility for social direction.

The last reason is especially compelling, because it does not matter how large a problem a modern computer can optimally process, nor how fast a meta-heuristic can reach a near-optimal solution, nor how good that solution is, if a project does not have the requisite input—an accurate activity network model (which is actually quite rare for PD projects).

PRs can be gainfully employed by managers even without the formal activity network models requiredfor the application of meta-heuristics ( Browning and Yassine 2010b).

The RCMPS problem is strongly NP-hard (Lenstra and Kan 1978), so exact solution methods are impractical for large problems (Herroelen 2005).

On the other hand, most models of iteration in PD projects do not account for resource constraints at all, or do so only in a general way (e.g., without accounting for different resource types and dynamic requirements from other projects), and deal only with single projects (e.g., Cho and Eppinger 2005; Joglekar and Ford 2005; Lee et al.

However, conventional project management (and scheduling) literature and techniques (e.g., Meredith and Mantel 2012; PMI 2013) assume that projects are acyclical and do not account for iteration.

I teration and rework have been established empirically as significant drivers of PD time, cost, and quality (Cooper 1993a; Osborne 1993; Sosa et al. 2013)

When faced with chronic, day-to-day resource contentions among projects within his or her portfolio, a portfolio manager will find little guidance for a prioritization decision from the PPM literature (Engwall and Jerbrant 2003; Blichfeldt and Eskerod 2008)

Shane and Ulrich (2004) found that, out of the technological innovation, PD, and entrepreneurship research published from 1954-2003 in Management Science, “product planning and portfolios” comprised the second largest sub-stream—although they noted that this research had “found very little use in practice.”

It might be considered that Kanban, as a “start with what you do now” method, comes with no agenda as to the type or purpose of the change it initiates. In fact, Kanban recognizes three agendas—three compelling calls to action based on organizational need

The other bill, The Family Opportunity Act (HR6397), was recently introduced by U.S. Rep. Newt Gingrich, a Republican from Georgia. The Family Opportunity Act would offer a $100 per year, per family member, tax credit for up to 50 percent of the cost of a home-computer hardware or software system, with five years to write off the investment. With this bill, a family of four could buy a $4000 system and, over five years, take $2000 in tax credits.

The best way to make your voice heard is to contact the chairman of that committee, Dan Rostenkowski, at the House Ways and Means Committee

Gingrich says. "That's why working Ameri-cans should have the same kinds of tax breaks corpora-tions get automatically."

Servan-Schreiber takes the somewhat radical view that, in several years, human beings will no longer work the production lines. All such work, he believes, will be done by robots and machines. Therefore, he warns, peo-ple will have to learn to be processors of information. Whether or not you subscribe to this view, the trend is undeniable. Robots are attractive in many ways, not the least of which is their cost of operation. Figure 3 indicates that robots currently cost less than human workers to "employ." It 's obvious to me that we must all become computer literate to survive in the future world. Yet our government is doing virtually nothing to ensure that sur-vival.

As U.S. Rep. Albert Gore Jr. (D., Tenn.) said recently at a Washington brief-ing, 'We have some serious thinking to do when scientists as distinguished as Nicholas Negroponte and Seymour Papert leave the United States in order to be part of the World Computer Center."

Who's going to win the 16-bit operating system sweepstakes? My guess is that there'll be no clear winner for several years; maybe never.

Operating Systems IBM has decided to let the marketplace determine which of its three operating systems will become dominant (if any). Thus, you can get UCSD Pascal, CP/M-86, or the IBM Personal Computer operating system from Microsoft. You can have all three if you want; it's a nice choice.

Encompassed in Doug Engelbart’s ”bootstrap” philosophy [6] is the notion of a networkedimprovement community collaborating to develop a collective intelligence by improving onan improvement infratsructure.

Withthe benefit of 15 years’ hindsight, we can see the failure of so manyhypertext DR systems to be adopted as symptomatic of the moregeneral problem of fostering ‘hypertext literacy’ in real workingenvironments

Hypertext systems that use typed nodesgenerally provide a specialized color, size,or iconic form for each node type. The dis-tinguishing features help the user di fferen-tiate at a glance the broad classes of typednodes that he is working with.

Both Anderson and Dumitriu were at Microsoft at the time, and they described an abysmal previous state that is likely familiar to most IT practitioners:too long to finish work requested from the business: average lead time was 155 daysdissatisfaction with lateness and long lead times forced IT management to do “more work estimation,” forcing managers to spend all their time building PowerPoints (because business conclusion was that they didn’t do a good job estimating), instead of doing real workwhenever the business asked for anything, the response was “it’ll take 5 months”every task was estimated at 20 days, but no one knew where the other 135 days went

If I vote in a party’s primary, am I required to vote for that party’s candidates in the November 6, 2018 general election? No. A voter who votes in the primary is not required to vote for a particular party’s candidates in the succeeding general election.

In a county where the Republican and Democratic parties are sharing polling places, the vote must identify what primary they would like to vote in order to ensure they receive the correct ballot and are marked as voting in the correct primary election.

AF rolls out phased retirement program for eligible civilians By Richard Salomon, Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs / Published July 14, 2017

Who have attained their minimum retirement age (between ages 55 and 57 depending on year of birth) or who have at least 20 years of service and who are at least age 60.

He, Rulifson, and fellow Augmented Research Center engineer Bill Paxton demonstrated how the team used the hypertext system to collaborate.

explains Jeff Rulifson, the computer scientist who developed much of the software on display at the Mother of All Demos. "The idea was to create tools and then use those tools to improve the tools," Rulifson says. Instead of making the tool once, it would be continually improved, based on the experiences of its users. As the tools improve, they make it possible to make new, more useful tools. Engelbart called the approach "bootstrapping," named for the bootstrap circuit in radar systems.

I'm eager for more powerful writing tools that will make it even easier to gather documents and messages and shape them into a project narrative. By pushing current tools to their limits and beyond, we'll discover what those next-generation tools need to be.

A simple Web-accessible repository augmented with brief commentary explaining what has been posted and why turns out to be a powerful team coordination aid.

"As a project manager, I wish I had an authoring interface that has the same ease of use as weblog writing interfaces, but allows for more logical structuring of information, rather than putting everything on a calendar roll."

No matter how effective your navigational scheme, there's no substitute for full text search when you need to find something that's vanished from current view.

Virtual access to customer data is restricted based on business need by role-based access control, multifactor authentication, minimizing standing access to production data, and other controls. Access to customer data is also strictly logged, and both Microsoft and third parties perform regular audits (as well as sample audits) to attest that any access is appropriate.

Saving the information in a SharePoint list makes it a single source of truth, all the time, for everyone.

One of the pain points present in many SharePoint implementations is slow user adoption. There may be any number of reasons for this, but one commonality is an unfamiliarity of how to use SharePoint properly; meaning, how to use it efficiently.

Indeed a seamless integration of web, email, newsgroup and a searchable document database are the components that make a formidable groupware application.

According to Raskin, too many people working on hypertext have concentrated on mechanisms instead of on the user interface. It is necessary to look at the entire spectrum of interaction and to do continuous user testing.

How do I raise the issue of technical debt to ensure it is prioritized alongside value? Can you measure the cost of support? How many workarounds exist in production? What are the costs of the workarounds to the business? Is the current technology easy to update and release for business innovation? What is the cost of not innovating or releasing something your competitor has?

Breaking down functional silos, which traditional organizations tend to have, to form cross-functional silos, which agilists tend to prefer, takes a lot of time and effort. We need to help people become cross functional themselves, what I would call generalizing specialists.

Therefore, if a team is converting to agile work methods, people need to be coached to stretch themselves and learn new things.

Today, everybody knows about this system because the system was not fail-proof, it lacked robustness to deal with erroneous data.

What would it take, I wonder, to post-process the kinds of PDF files that governments typically produce, in order to add Purple Numbers?

A project blog [19, 19] linked to a project document repository is a potential partial solution to this problem. Instead of sending email when creating or revising documents, project members simply add an entry to the blog. This requires less work than sending email and has other attractive features discussed below. The result is an easily-skimmed chronologically-ordered record of the important information events of a project. These include status changes of project documents in the associated repository. Project blogs are collaborative; any team member can add an entry.

Ensure that everyone understands and agrees to the policies for the work that moves through the system. When are various activities and work items done?

I strongly recommend encrypting the entire contents of your configuration file, and to use in memory caching to cache the decrypted values.

Mr Sette adds that while the world coffee industry sees revenues over $200bn each year, only $20bn reaches producing countries and ultimately, less than 10% of that reaches growers.

One thing I found with new KM projects is the tendency to dive into complexity. In other words: these projects attempt to slice and dice available knowledge in so many ways that it is almost impossible to understand. This, in my view, can tank a project. My recommendation: Start simple. Get that working and then add complexity when there is demand for it.

Collaboration Tools Employed by this Community

The issue of citing particular phrases in web documents has also been raised previously,with paragraph-level identifiers added by the purpleslurple29 tool,

Assuming that we can determine that we are dealing with the same document

In February 2017, the World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C, the international standards body for the web, formally recommended a web-annotation standard that allows developers to make annotation a native feature of their browsers. So far, none has done so.

I agree that functionality like this should be natively built into browsers.

We don’t have to “move fast and break things.” We can move slowly and build good things to last. We can return to the traditions of architects that built cathedrals to last hundreds of years, mathematicians who have collaborated on imaginary structures for thousands of years, and scientists who have pulled back the curtain on reality since people began to doubt their senses.

Alan admires his former professor Bob Barton. Despite not liking students or teaching, Bob spent the time to do it “for the field.” I think that’s ultimately Alan’s aim in meeting with people like me. Maybe there’s a fraction of a percent chance that I have the potential to help the field and so Alan was there to nurture that chance. In other words, he was getting lunch with me in for pure benevolence. He wants there to be good people in his field (don’t ask him what it should be called unless you have all afternoon), ultimately to further humanity.

You can't understand where mind-amplifying technology is going unless you understand where it came from.

The budget is ‘the elephant in the room.’ An organization can never be truly agile unless you also address that budget mindset

Their success has been less obvious in big top-down siloed, inward-looking hierarchies that are faced with the challenge of delighting external customers.

As a result, “fixing the budget” usually involves a lot more than fixing the budget. You have to fix a tangle of other big issues if you are really going to make sustained progress.

The notion of throughput accounting, which measures and tracks progress of delivering value to customers, is still unknown in many large organizations.

Organizational structure: The budget often reflects, reinforces and aggravates the siloed organizational structure, which gets in the way of delivering value to customers. Rather than having truly cross-functional teams, with end-to-end responsibilities to deliver value to customers, Agile teams work within their silo (say Tech) and hand off work to another silo (say Product) to be incorporated in their work program. If Product has yet to embrace Agile, then Product is likely to be working at a slower pace than Tech, so Product–and subsequently Sales–become the key organizational constraints to gaining the real value from Agile.

Agile Uprising is a purpose-built network that focuses on the advancement of the agile mindset and global professional networking between leading agilists. We will remain agnostic of certifying bodies and focus purely on the advancement of the agile craft. Our network will evolve over time, and at the core our online community will remain free to join – forever.

Or they say, that the failures in the SAFe community surround folks who haven’t had enough training (sigh!) or invested in enough SPC qualified consultants (bigger sigh!).

I just can’t be associated any longer with something this big, this focused on pursuing revenue, and this far removed from true agile principles.

It’s too focused on certifications and training – a cash cow.

It creates far too many roles, layers, flows, etc.

As I looked at the diagram, I imagined $$$ at specific points where the SAFe folks (Scaled Agile proper, consulting firms, SPC consultants, tooling firms, etc.) could “cash in” on SAFe training, consulting, and tooling.In other words, I followed the path and heard an ongoing CHA-CHING in the air!

Hire and develop the right mix of talent: The report cites Millennials as “particularly well-suited to enhance an Agile enterprise’s talent pool.”

A huge majority – 83 percent – of leaders surveyed cited their talent mix as being crucial to their organizations increased agility.   Meanwhile, 70 percent of respondents reported that lack of engagement on the part of executives and employees to the main factor to hold back transformational success in their organization.

The software industry, in general, has become obsessed with measuring the inputs and outputs of Agile at the employee level—an obsession that has resulted in the neglect of the original Agile ethos, and a misguided focus on employee-level work statistics instead of process improvement on the organizational level

Reduce resistance to change when moving to agile by showing critics that agile represents a better way of doing business using the data collected on your projects.

Exploitation Measures:  some suggestions for exploiting agile productivity gains include:

Product versus project management conflicts that can raise questions as to who’s in charge.

those firms that use Kanban principles and lean approaches as part of their methodology tend to make better productivity gains because they focus their energy on getting rid of waste and inefficiency.

they replace instead of reduce management overhead and bureaucracy with a rebranded set of practices.

It is interesting to note that these software productivity increases are not being realized by those pursuing either large agile projects or enterprise-wide utilization.  These productivity gains, while still advantageous, drop to just 3 to 5 percent better than their previous norms.

Percent Complete and Accurate (%C&A).  A quality metric used to measure the degree to which work from an upstream supplier is determined by the downstream customer to be complete and accurate (or error free).  In other words, to what degree does the downstream customer need to:  1) correct information that is incorrect; 2) add missing information that should have been supplied by an upstream supplier; and/or 3) clarify information provided.  Out of 100 “things” passing to the downstream customer, what percentage of them are complete and accurate and do not require one of the three above actions before completing the task?  The number is obtained by asking the immediate, or successive, downstream customer(s) what percentage of the time they receive work that is 100% complete and accurate.

To set themselves up for success, software development and operation teams need to allocate 20% of their schedule (e.g. one day per week or one week per month) to slack time. That is, time they won’t have to spend implementing any new functionality, but rather investing on refactoring, automation, architecture, design, and other non-functional requirements that can improve quality.

The deal [between product owners and] engineering goes like this: Product management takes 20% of the team’s capacity right off the top and gives this to engineering to spend as they see fit. They might use it to rewrite, re-architect, or re-factor problematic parts of the code base…whatever they believe is necessary to avoid ever having to come to the team and say, ‘we need to stop and rewrite [all our code].’ If you’re in really bad shape today, you might need to make this 30% or even more of the resources. However, I get nervous when I find teams that think they can get away with much less than 20%.

Reckless Accidental debt is the least desirable, since the team has no choice about incurring it and either doesn’t recognize it or cannot correct it once it exists. This quadrant is red, because ideally the team should stop and self-improve (through training, hiring, or whatever other means is available) such that it is able to at least recognize the kind of debt it is incurring currently.

“Where in the organization will Scrum work best, and where will Kanban work best?”

When work item size and cycle time are consistent, it becomes relatively easy to forecast how long it will take to complete a known set of work.

Kanban at the portfolio and program level to visualize and manage the top-level workflow in the product, product, or organization

Kanban’s greatest strength is that it models anything and is very flexible.

Its flow-based approach tolerates rapidly changing priorities much better than a timeboxed approach like Scrum.

For a single person managing his or her work alone, a simple Kanban board similar to the one shown in Figure 1 is often all that is necessary.

If an employee receives a Quality Step Increase or takes a Change to Lower Grade, their time before the action still counts toward their next Within-Grade Increase, but the step they are going to determines which waiting period (one, two, or three years) they will be in.

WGIs apply only to GS employees occupying permanent positions. "Permanent position" means a position filled by an employee whose appointment is not designated as temporary

Employees who occupy permanent positions earn WGIs upon meeting the following three requirements established by law

BREAK IN SERVICE—The time when an employee is no longer on the payroll of an agency. (In computing creditable service for benefits, e.g., leave accrual and reduction in force retention, a separation of 1, 2, or 3 calendar days is not considered to be a break in service; a separation of 4 or more calendar days is considered to be a break inservice and the days of separation are subtracted from the employee's total creditable service.)

Although it’s nice to plan around the stability that Scrum promises – with a fixed sprint backlog of work – the reality is that teams have to deal with interrupt driven work and absorbing this isn’t a strong characteristic of Scrum.

To be successful at Scrum you have to allocate people roles, train them and arrange your work according to the methodology.
